What happened
During the fourth landing attempt of a training flight, the aircraft bounced on the runway. Following this bounce, the instructor yanked the control stick and instructed the student to release it, stating, "give me the stick." The student reported releasing the controls, at which point the instructor took command of the airplane.
The instructor applied full power following the bounce. While traveling approximately two-thirds of the way down the runway, the aircraft maintained a slightly nose-high attitude with an airspeed of 50 KIAS. The nose subsequently pitched upward, causing the aircraft to stall. The right wing dropped, and the nose impacted the ground.
The instructor reported that the student had applied full aft control during the initial bounce. Although the instructor called out "my controls," the control stick remained in the full aft position. In an attempt to maintain flight, the instructor utilized throttle and rudder inputs.
The investigation
An inspection of the elevator control system was conducted following the accident. The examination found no anomalies within the system.
